Valvoline, a leading worldwide supplier of premium branded lubricants and automotive services, is implementing Alloy’s enterprise solution. Alloy proved to Valvoline that our digital supply chain platform can successfully replace legacy tools — providing substantially better visibility, reporting, analytics, and alerting — and swiftly scale the capability across retailers and Valvoline Instant Oil Change Centers.
Further, Alloy will enable Valvoline to strengthen retail partnerships through:
“Valvoline’s supply chain strategy is to become more and more forward-looking, proactively aligning inventory to future demand, instead of simply reactive to customer orders,” said Craig Moughler, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Valvoline.
"Alloy will be a cornerstone of that strategy because it can project where problems are most likely to occur in the future, at a granular level. Too much of the current reporting washes out the details and hides problems.”
“Sophisticated supply chains, like Valvoline’s, have traditionally been under-served by available solutions,” said Joel Beal, CEO, Alloy. “By taking an integrated, demand-driven approach to modeling inventory throughout the supply chain network, from production to retail, Alloy is enabling teams to increase efficiency and improve margins in an unpredictable consumer environment.”
About Alloy
Alloy readies consumer brands to capture demand and streamline supply by breaking down data silos across sales, marketing, and supply chain.

It connects those insights to end-to-end supply chain visibility, so teams can proactively address inventory risks and opportunities.
With Alloy, brands prevent lost revenue from out-of-stocks and phantom inventory, lower losses from overstocks, and grow sales while increasing efficiency. A breadth of customers, from Fortune 100 enterprises to fast-growing startups, have chosen Alloy software to support daily execution and strategic decision-making.
